Why do we teach Art and Design?
Expression...visual thinking...observation skills...problem solving...uniqueness...
Art and Design allows children to explore and expand their creativity and imagination. Encouraging pupils to transform their experiences and emotions through Art can help them make new connections and deepen their understanding of the World. The curriculum is designed to engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the skills to experiment, invent and create unique pieces of work. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation. In addition, children develop a respect for the environment, for their own health and safety and that of others. They learn to appreciate the value of similarities and differences and learn to show tolerance. A variety of experiences teaches them to appreciate that all people – and their views – are equally important.
